Wow no kidding a lot happed. I felt like I was hit by a mack truck of information haha.

So basically Touya has finally manned up and decided to be faithful and dedicated to Yuki. The down side is all this shit happened at one time in this episode so Yuki may think he's being unfaithful or ignoring her again.

Touya's dad is in trouble! I wonder if he had a heart attack or something.

Yayoi getting denied was funny. Also who was that girl that gave Touya's bag back to him? She looked like a miniature Yayoi haha. I wonder if she was Yayoi's sister or something.

Mana went to see Touya which resulted in Haruka thinking Touya slept with her XD. I bet that made Haruka jealous and sad at the same time. Also is Mana a member of that girls singing group? The manager is her mom and her mom mentioned that one of the girls where missing. Was it mana? She kind of looks like one of those snotty girls anyway.

Anyway here's the updated relationship chart.

It was ok. Pretty what I expected considering there's going to be a second season. Overall not a bad series, but not a particularly impressive one for me. It gets a score of 6/10

I hate to say this but I did enjoy the last episode of this series. Even if the story itself started very slow, I think I do understand why this show needs a second season. Hopefully, it can all be patched up when season two comes. I'll definitely stay around for season two.

Finally, he realized what's important to him. That's a huge plus factor to me. It took him a while to get it. However, I didn't imagine that he has shown his backbone on the last episode of this season.

This show needs more improvement. It has its own perks. It has its own way of enticing its viewers. Probably, season two is there to fill in the missing pieces. I guess I will reevaluate this show once I am done with the second season in the future.

For now, I will give this a final score of 6.

OH LAWD.

with all the things that happened in this finale, the 2nd season is definitely a must-watch for me now. just when things seem to be falling in place for Touya, he gets one bad news after another. he could be the center of even more drama next season. DO WANT.

The singing at the beginning was super boring, and pretty much should have been cut to ease the big dump of visits Touya got at the end.

I don't know, this was really weird for me. It started out interesting, and then betrayed everything that it was setting itself up to be, leaving it as a generic harem with bad characters. With that said, at least that they didn't try to pander with ecchiness, and instead tried to be "artful" in its approach.

5/10

Hmmm I actually quite enjoyed this episode, probably one of my favorites of the season but that's because for once I didn't have to scream at my computer due to Touya being an idiot. :O

Pretty good end to the first season that definately makes me want to check out the second season more so than I did before. Overall I'll give it a 7/10.

The only thing that missing in this episode is a "HOT KISSING"

Hell, I never view W.A. as a love-drama, so I am not saying I am disappointed with this show.

This isnt usually my type of show (I only caught it cuz Eclipse was subbing) and yeah, its a really slow-paced series, but just when the big event is finally over...

oh, that phone call at the end just tore my heart out.

(Scene where Touya convinced Mana-chan to come in looked very weird...too much time working on concert scene maybe?)

Overall, I'll give 8/10

It was coming out nicely then suddenly ran out of money for Mana's scene outside his place.

The first 10 wrapped up the first season. The last 10 minutes were the setup for S2. I don't feel that motivated to watch...

I really liked this 'last' episode. Everything just seemed to click. The only thing that bothered me was Akira and Misaki, they should just move or something so we don't have to watch them anymore. Everything else, awesome. 7/10 for now.

I want the second half now but I imagine the reason for this split is related to money; they need to sell some DVDs before they can afford to produce the rest.

No blood - no extra points. Well, at least this "last" episode wasn't half-bad, if still humorous sometimes. I feel extremely generous today so I gave it 5/10. But it's not like I liked it or anything, I just accidentally chose the wrong number from the list and didn't want to change it afterwards. Hmm, I probably fail as a tsundere.

At least the ecchi shows don't try to act to be more than they actually are (well, in the better cases). I find nothing great in covering crap in a shiny, "artistic" wrapper, especially if it doesn't have a function or give any plus to the storytelling.

that was a very good and solid ending
I liked the metaphor with the first snow and Yuki's first concert (snow = Yuki in japanese). So finally a new Yuki was born.
I also liked the puzzles this show gave me every week, and I like how those puzzles were mentioned (solved) in Yuki's song (anime)
Finally I liked the idea of why the show is titled "White Album", and I'm looking forward to watching it filled with pictures and events of the next year (season).
All in all, not a masterpiece of course, but a decent show with its own face and touch. Definitely will be watching it next fall. Moreover I even like the idea to have half-year rest in between this and next episodes.

Overall just meh... barely paid attention to the first half. I knew there was a second season so obviously nothing would get wrapped up. I hate the fact that the cliffhangers have me interested.

Season 2 only gets a watch if nothing else during the fall catches my eye

This episode was slightly interesting, but I fail to understand how a series that had been good in terms of animation in the first 12 episodes can fail so much in the last episode (unless it's intentional, but I don't see why). Even the direction was average. Still, a strange but somewhat fun series, so I scored it 7/10 for now and I'm moderately waiting for the second season.

The first episode just pumped me up alot I guess, and then it quickly lost the feeling.

Actually, she bought him a phone with an answering machine (the same one she has - couple with a matching pair of phones *lol*), in order for her to at least be able to leave him a message when he isn't there (which actually happened pretty much always when she tried to get a hold of him throughout the show). Let's recall that this is 198x where an answering machine was still not that common.
